Canada’s unemployment rate has hit a 7-year high, reaching 6.7 per cent in August. This increase comes as a disappointment to many, as it is the highest it has been since May 2017. The rise in unemployment is a concerning trend for the Canadian economy, signaling potential struggles in the job market. With the slight uptick from July’s numbers, it is clear that there are challenges ahead for those seeking employment in Canada. As the country grapples with the economic impacts of the global pandemic, the rise in unemployment serves as a reminder of the ongoing uncertainty in the labor market.

Trudeau destroys the economy, while importing millions of people we can't deal with.

Stop handing out government assistance to everybody then we won't have this problem.

i genuinely dont think this is anything new. I keep getting declined by hiring managers and they dont even want to look at my resume.
We all know why but we can't say because it's considered racist!
You know its bad when the immigrants are complaining that there are too many immigrants
Do they factor in rises in immigration? That could account for a big chunk of the unemployment.
Recession, recession, recession, recession, recession, recession, told you so and the only person you can blame or entity is our Canadian government they are the ones to blame not Canadian citizens it’s by design to get kids in the college a high tuitions and have absolutely nothing more than when we get out because every different province has the same courses roughly and there’s not enough jobs in each and every province it’s by design to pay those loans even if you get nowhere in life after college sorry but it’s true what government does his by design when you get older eyes open wide if you step back and look what you doing what they’re doing to Canada? Simple as that. If you’re going into college on the healthcare side you’ll find employment but anything else you’re at your own risk hundreds of thousands of people trying to get the same job in Canada and each and every province. That’s what I design that’s why we have high unemployment in Canada as a whole.
Dude. Literally every single job has been taken by foreign workers. Have you ever been to a McDonald’s? There’s not one single person at one fast food restaurant where I’m from that is actually from my town. Soooooo?

Why should international students have jobs before Canadians? They should not be allowed to work when we have high youth unemployment.
Lower minimum wage and unemployment will decrease. This is not rocket science.
On another news channel, they were speaking about layoffs outnumbering hiring in America…simular buisness abroad.." makes ya wonder."
The country should be booming, what is that.
That's why Canada 🇨🇦 needs to impose more tariffs on more products from China.
